I remember white knuckling my way through this with the official guide at my side, on a rental copy no less. I swear I'd never do it again after I accomplished it. One of my prouder gaming moments. I wish I had that same insane drive for gaming I did when I was 12.

TTC is one of the high points in Mario 64. It actually requires platforming skills and there are a number of ways to make your ascencion to the upper parts of the level quicker. Im sorry that youre bad at the game OP.

Mario 64 controls like shit and has a lot of issues and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. I hate the way he shuffles around in place when you just want to turn around, I hate how heavy he feels to just simply move, I hate the unreliable wall jump, I hate the way you get knocked back like getting hit in fucking Castlevania if you jump and simply brush up against a wall, I hate the shitty fucking camera that just tells you "No" when you try to move it the way you want it, it all fucking sucks ass. Also this is one of the only games I have ever played that consistently shits itself for no discernible reason, I don't care that it's an early 3D game, 90% of the time when interacting with a ledge of any kind Mario spasms up and down it for several seconds and usually ends with you falling to your death. Not to mention invisible walls randomly materializing literally out of thin air.

It's okay to like Mario 64, it was revolutionary for the time and set the standard for 3D platformers and basically invented the genre. I am however sick to fucking death of everyone pretending it's this flawless masterpiece and like nothing better has ever come out. It's dated and has a lot of issues. Almost everything else that came after it is better, even just on the N64 itself.

The only improvement subsequent Mario games had on controls was making the walljimp more clear and easy to pull off. The walljimp in SM64 does kinda suck ass and doesn't telegraph well. 5 frames is not much to work with

i prefer the challenge of 5 frames, but it is bugged where only the first frame wall kick preserves momentum when it's intended to gradually decrease on each subsequent frame

Don't disagree with any of this, and I even like Mario 64.

I've noticed an odd phenomenon. I feel like early 3D stuff has "aged poorly". It's just all has nagging issues I can't get over. I do not feel this way about 2D games at all. Super Mario Bros feels like a timeless masterpiece to me. 64 just feels sorts of awkward and clunky

I don't even hate the game either but it's insane to me how hard people are willing to die to say the controls and physics are flawless and perfect. I blame speedrunners and the autists that watch them for poisoning every discussion of this game thats taken place over the past 15 years. Retards watch the speedrunners do crazy shit and assume that the controls are just that good and thats how everyone can and should be playing and don't consider that anyone could possibly just be casually playing.

I think proof enough of this insane weird bias Mario 64 fans have is that they will never mention how dogshit the camera is but because its socially acceptable to hate Mario Sunshine theyll openly cry about that games camera even though its fully controllable at all times and never gets stuck on anything and is unquantifiably better than 64. Just ridiculous Mario 64 fans need to grow the fuck up lol.

none of the 120 stars are difficult or annoying in particular, except the wing cap star in the clock room. but theyre all really fun to get. nothing feels annoying or like padding. except that shitty wing cap star. I really wish future 3d marios were like this too, but no. their main campaigns are good but trying to actually 100% them will become an awful chore.

its a garbage analogy. a game can be enjoyable despite a bad section or level, and its purpose is just to entertain, which is subjective. A car must be fully functional to serve its purpose, there is no subjectiveness to it.
